Summary
But friends didn't take away any of the pain that sat heavy in his chest, a different kind than any physical injury could inflict. So he kept going, kept steaming ahead, with all his usual work. He didn't pick up extra shifts, because he would have been yelled at, but he did go down to the tech lab and work on his suit. Some things had needed repairs. And he wanted to upgrade other things. Kept him busy. Kept him out of his head. That and Beef.
Robert kept his head down, focused on one foot in front of the other. Why? Because if he didn't, he'd fall apart. At least, someone started to pick up his wayward pieces on the way.

Summary
He didn’t know why he was so upset, but there was a buzzing beneath his skin and tears were threatening to fall. His Dad loved him, he knew that. His Dad once got onto a plane immediately after a game across the country to make it to national’s last year. He was being ridiculous.
His body was shaking with anger, sadness, regret, he couldn’t tell. This was the second time today he had blown up at his parents. He was so fucking stupid.

Summary
He knew it was bad because he couldn’t breathe; the air had been knocked from his but that wasn’t it; now he had found his breath after a terrifying moment when he felt like he would never breathe again. A sound had ripped out from him and forced a breath to be pulled in after, had he screamed? Ilya only knew pain in that moment, white searing pain radiated from his knee and from below it, he had tears already down his cheeks, the pain so horrible he felt it too painful to breathe, the lights above him swirled again. He saw the medics, registered there were people crowding around him, saw the hands reach for him, and at the first touch, the first rearrangement of his position, Ilya screamed again, and found his vision filled with blackness.
------------
Ilya takes a bad hit and has a career-ending injury just a few weeks after making up with Shane from their fight after Christmas. Shane is torn on how to be there for Ilya, without being ready to fully come out. -

Summary
Ilya Rozanov is the fearless captain of the Ottawa Centaurs—out, proud, and chasing history. Alongside his husband and assistant captain, Shane Hollander, he’s on the brink of leading their team to an unprecedented third consecutive championship. But just as victory seems within reach, unexpected twists throw their plans into chaos, testing not only their season but their relationship, their leadership, and everything they thought they had under control.
As the pressure mounts, Ilya finds himself facing a challenge far greater than anything on the ice: learning how to love himself in a role he never expected to play, and confronting the question he’s spent years avoiding: who is he when hockey is no longer the center of his world?
Off the ice, life is just as unpredictable: shifting roles, chaotic WAG group chats, and one particularly relentless chihuahua make sure of that. Join Ilya and Shane as they fight to hold it all together, because winning the Cup might be the easy part, but figuring out what comes after could change everything.

He heard footsteps begin to come down the stairs, and then a deep voice shouted something in a language that Shane thought was probably Russian. The footsteps continued to grow closer, and then Irina’s papa entered the kitchen. Shane dropped his jaw as they made eye contact– it was a face he never thought he’d see again.
“Ilya Rozanov?”
“Shane Hollander?”Or, canon divergent AU in which Ilya drops out of the NHL draft to play in Russia, but him and his daughter end up living next door to Shane many years later.
